DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0025] This embodiment discloses an arrangement machine for processing root canal files, such as Figure 1-Figure 7As shown, it includes: a frame 100; a vibrating material tray 300, which is fixedly connected to the frame 100, and the vibrating material tray 300 is used to load the root canal file; a loading mechanism 400, which is fixedly connected to the frame 100, and the loading mechanism 400 is used to load the material tray 402. When one of the material trays 402 is full, the loading mechanism 400 drives the next empty material tray 402 to move to the loading position; the inserting mechanism 200 is used to neatly arrange the root canal files one by one and insert them on the material tray 402. There is a material hole for inserting the root canal file; an X-axis slide rail 500, on which an X-axis slide frame 600 is slidably connected, for driving the insertion mechanism 200 to move along the X-axis; a Y-axis slide rail 700, which is fixedly mounted on the X-axis slide frame 600, and the insertion mechanism 200 is slidably connected to the Y-axis slide rail 700; wherein both the X-axis slide rail 500 and the Y-axis slide rail 700 are provided with a driving motor, which can drive the corresponding mechanism to move, and facilitate the root canal file to move forward and backward and left and right, and clamp and insert the root canal file.

[0026] like Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, a spiral feeding trough 301 is provided on the inner wall of the vibrating material tray 300. When the vibrating material tray 300 vibrates, the root canal file spirally rises along the feeding trough 301, and the end of the feeding trough 301 is fixedly connected to a discharge plate 302. The discharge plate 302 is horizontally arranged, and one end of the discharge plate 302 extends to the outside of the vibrating material tray 300. A discharge trough 304 that only allows a single root canal file to move is provided on the discharge plate 302. The width of the discharge trough 304 is equal to or slightly larger than the diameter of the root canal file. When the vibrating material tray 300 vibrates, the root canal file behind the discharge trough 304 pushes the root canal file in front to move forward, and a guide plate 303 is provided at the end of the feeding trough 301 for guiding the root canal file into the discharge trough 304.

[0027] Among them, a discharge port 305 is provided at the end of the discharge plate 302, and the length of the discharge port 305 is less than the length of the root canal file. A transition seat 307 is fixedly connected to the discharge port 305, and a plurality of material grooves 308 cooperating with the root canal file are provided on the transition seat 307. When the root canal file is in the material groove 308, the upper surface of the root canal file is flush with the surface of the transition seat 307 to avoid obstruction to the movement of the next root canal file, and the bottom of the discharge port 305 is provided with an inclined surface structure 306 to facilitate the root canal file to roll onto the transition seat 307. In specific implementation: when the vibration plate 300 vibrates, it drives the root canal file to move up along the upper trough 301 to the discharge plate 302, and the root canal files are transported one by one in the discharge trough 304. When the head of the root canal file moves to the discharge port 305, the insertion mechanism 200 will promptly take away the root canal file. If the insertion mechanism 200 cannot promptly take the material, the root canal file at the discharge port 305 continues to move forward until the end of the root canal file moves to the discharge port 305, and the root canal file breaks away from the limit of the discharge slot 304. Under the action of gravity, the root canal file rolls along the inclined structure to the transition seat 307, and the root canal file preferentially rolls to the nearest material slot 308, so that when the first material slot 308 is filled with a root canal file, the root canal file will roll to the second material slot 308, and so on, thereby avoiding the root canal file from falling. When the root canal file cannot be discharged from the discharge port 305 in time, the insertion mechanism 200 will take away the root canal file on the transition seat 307, thereby ensuring the timely and continuous insertion of the root canal file and saving waiting time.

[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, the inserting mechanism 200 includes a Y-axis sliding frame 201 slidably connected to the Y-axis slide rail 700, the Y-axis sliding frame 201 is fixedly connected to a fixed frame 209, the fixed frame 209 is installed with a lifting cylinder 202, and the lifting cylinder 202 is connected to a Z-axis lifting seat 204; a Z-axis slide rail 203 slidably connected to the Z-axis lifting seat 204 is fixedly connected below the fixed frame 209, and a turning mechanism 205 is installed on the Z-axis lifting seat 204 for driving the root canal file to turn from a horizontal state to a vertical state. The turning mechanism 205 can use a motor, and a turning frame 206 is connected to the turning mechanism 205, and a clamping cylinder 207 is fixedly connected to the turning frame 206, and the clamping cylinder 207 is fixedly connected to the clamping cylinder 207. 07 is connected with a pair of clamping blocks 208 for clamping the root canal file, and the clamping cylinder 207 can control the two clamping blocks 208 to move closer to or farther away from each other; when the inserting mechanism 200 moves to the clamping position, the lifting cylinder 202 drives the Z-axis lifting seat 204 to descend, and the clamping block 208 moves down to the clamping height of the root canal file, and the clamping cylinder 207 drives the two clamping blocks 208 to move closer to each other to clamp the root canal file. After clamping, the Z-axis lifting seat 204 rises, and the turning mechanism 205 drives the turning frame 206 to turn 90°, turning the root canal file from a horizontal state to a vertical state, and then the inserting mechanism 200 moves to the position above the material tray 402, and the root canal file is neatly inserted into the material tray 402.

[0029] like Figure 6-Figure 7 As shown, the feeding mechanism 400 includes: a material rack 401, which is fixedly connected to the frame 100, and a plurality of movable material trays 402 are arranged on the material rack 401, and gaps are left between adjacent material trays 402; a pushing mechanism 403, which is used to drive the material trays 402 to be transported forward; the pushing mechanism 403 can adopt a cylinder, and the feeding mechanism 400 also includes a guide rail 404 and a moving frame 406, the guide rail 404 is fixedly installed on the frame 100, and a slide seat 405 slidably connected to the guide rail 404 is fixedly connected to the moving frame 406, and a plurality of lifting cylinders 407 are installed on the moving frame 406, each lifting cylinder 407 drives a single material tray 402 to rise and fall, and the lifting cylinder 407 drives a single material tray 402 to rise and fall. 07 is connected with a lifting block 408, and the lifting block 408 is in contact with the lower surface of the material tray 402, wherein the lifting cylinder 407 corresponds to the number of the material trays 402, and can drive the material trays 402 to move one by one; when the first material tray 402 is full of materials, the lifting cylinder 407 drives the lifting block 408 to contact the lower surface of the material tray 402, and the pushing mechanism 403 drives the movable frame 406 to move forward, and multiple material trays 402 move at the same time, the first material tray 402 pushes out the material, and at the same time the second material tray 402 moves to the material insertion station, and then the lifting cylinder 407 drives the lifting block 408 to descend, and the pushing mechanism 403 contracts, driving the movable frame 406 to move and return to its original position.

[0030] Preferably, a pair of telescopic cylinders 410 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the material rack 401, and baffles 409 are connected to the telescopic cylinders 410 for positioning the loading tray 402. After the tray 402 on the top insertion station is full of material, the telescopic cylinder 410 drives the two baffles 409 to open without obstructing the tray 402, so that the tray 402 full of material can be discharged, and then the telescopic cylinder 410 drives the two baffles 409 to close, blocking the next tray 402, so that the position of the next tray 402 on the insertion station is accurate.

[0031] Working principle: The root canal files are discharged one by one from the discharge trough 304 through the vibration of the vibrating material tray 300. When the root canal files move to the discharge port 305, the inserting mechanism 200 removes the root canal file clamp and flips it 90° to a vertical state. Then the inserting mechanism 200 slides along the X-axis slide rail 500 and the Y-axis slide rail 700, and then drives the root canal files to move above the material tray 402. Then, the root canal files are inserted into the material tray 402, and then the root canal files are neatly arranged one by one on the material tray 402. When the material tray 402 is full, the pushing mechanism 403 pushes the moving frame 406 to move, and the full material tray 402 is removed. At the same time, the next empty material tray 402 is moved to the inserting station, thereby completing the continuous arrangement of the root canal files and inserting them on the material tray 402.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that in the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "vertical", "up", "down", "horizontal", etc. indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.
